I suspect the good President may have edited out some other words that were used to describe me.

确实 几年前我曾在北边那所学校发表过演讲

So everybody can get some redemption.

恕我冒昧 这应该是我过去一年内第五次造访贵校

One time, I stopped at Sloppy's to grab some lunch.

Many of you... Sloopy's... I know.

And once you have children, it gets even earlier.
有了孩子之后 你还得起更早

00:03:13,408 --> 00:03:24,651
But, Class of 2013, your path to this moment has wound you through years of breathtaking change.
但是 2013级毕业生 走到这一刻 你们一路上充满了翻天覆地的变化

that put the world's accumulated knowledge at your fingertips.

47
00:03:42,167 --> 00:03:46,287
And you came of age as terror touched our shores;

48
00:03:46,361 --> 00:03:50,443
and an historic recession spread across the nation;

and a new generation signed up to go to war.

50
00:03:54,111 --> 00:04:01,275

你们所经历的一切考验 所承受的一切痛楚 是你们的父母

51
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,672
and I never imagined we'd see when we sat where you sit.
还有我 当初毕业之时 所未曾想象过的

52
00:04:05,718 --> 00:04:11,299
And yet, despite all this, or perhaps because of it,

53
00:04:11,336 --> 00:04:17,447
yours has become a generation possessed with that most American of ideas...

that people who love their country can change it for the better.

00:04:28,264 --> 00:04:31,262
or frustrated at the hand that you've been dealt,

and at least one kept serving his fellow veterans

when he came home by starting up a campus organization called Vets4Vets.

I could not be prouder of all of you.

00:05:58,133 --> 00:06:04,498
Consider that graduates of this university serve their country through the Peace Corps,

00:06:04,571 --> 00:06:08,510
and educate our children through established programs like Teach for America,

often earning little pay for making the biggest impact.

Some of you have already launched startup companies of your own.

and will fight like heck to realize your vision.

80

It's citizenship.
"公民意识"

82

And we don't always talk about this idea much these days...

83
00:06:48,807 --> 00:06:52,427
citizenship... let alone celebrate it.
公民意识... 更别说为之欢呼

84
00:06:52,501 --> 00:06:58,161
Sometimes, we see it as a virtue from another time, a distant past,
有时候 我们把它看成另一个时代的美德 很久之前的时代

85
00:06:58,232 --> 00:07:03,869
one that's slipping from a society that celebrates individual ambition above all else;
不是这个强调个人抱负至上的时代

86
00:07:03,939 --> 00:07:06,550
a society awash in instant technology
也不是这个淹没在现代科技的时代

87
00:07:06,585 --> 00:07:09,608
that empowers us to leverage our skills and talents like never before,
科技能让我们前所未有地应用自己的技能与才干

88
00:07:09,652 --> 00:07:13,173
but just as easily allows us to retreat from the world.
但也轻易能让我们与世界隔离

89
00:07:14,523 --> 00:07:20,423
And the result is that we sometimes forget the larger bonds we share as one American family.
结果就是 我们有时忘记了 作为一个大家庭 我们拥有更大层面上的联系

90
00:07:22,314 --> 00:07:26,741
But it's out there, all the time, every day...

When a hurricane struck our mightiest city,

When bombs went off in Boston,

and when a malevolent spree of gunfire visited a movie theater,

00:07:53,785 --> 00:08:01,014
a temple, an Ohio high school, a 1st grade classroom in Connecticut,

100
00:08:05,561 --> 00:08:08,110
In the aftermath of darkest tragedy,

we have seen the American spirit at its brightest.
我们看到了最光辉的美利坚精神

102
00:08:13,454 --> 00:08:16,246
We've seen the petty divisions of color and class

103
00:08:16,284 --> 00:08:22,799
and creed replaced by a united urge to help each other.
这些微小的区别 被共同的热忱所替代 大家互帮互助

104
00:08:24,617 --> 00:08:30,313
We've seen courage and compassion, a sense of civic duty,

105
00:08:30,387 --> 00:08:34,625
and a recognition we are not a collection of strangers;
以及认同感 我们不再是一群陌生人

106
00:08:34,699 --> 00:08:40,261
we are bound to one another by a set of ideals and laws and commitments,
一系列的理想 法律 承诺 还有对这片土地的深情

107
00:08:40,323 --> 00:08:43,637
and a deep devotion to this country that we love.

108
00:08:45,230 --> 00:08:47,741
And that's what citizenship is.
这就是公民意识

109
00:08:49,127 --> 00:08:52,366
It's at the heart of our founding... that as Americans,
它根植在这片土地... 作为美利坚民族

110
00:08:52,437 --> 00:08:55,984
we are blessed with God-given talents and inalienable rights,
我们享有上帝赐予的才干 以及不可剥夺的权利

111
00:08:56,019 --> 00:08:59,847
but with those rights come responsibilities... to ourselves,
但是 与权利随之而来的 是责任... 对我们自己

112
00:08:59,895 --> 00:09:03,024
and to one another, and to future generations.
对他人 对未来的责任

113
00:09:12,363 --> 00:09:15,719
Now, if we're being honest with ourselves,
坦诚来说

114
00:09:16,788 --> 00:09:20,684
as you've studied and worked and served to become good citizens,
你们学习 工作以及服役的目的 就是成为好的公民

115
00:09:20,764 --> 00:09:24,395
the fact is that all too often the institutions
事实上 太多时候 构成社会的

116
00:09:24,433 --> 00:09:29,739
that give structure to our society have, at times, betrayed your trust.
一干机构 时常会背叛你们的信任

117
00:09:33,366 --> 00:09:38,310
In the run-up to the financial crisis, too many on Wall Street forgot that
金融危机日益剧增之后 华尔街上太多人已然忘却

118
00:09:38,347 --> 00:09:45,077
their obligations don't end with what's happening with their shares.
自己的职责不仅仅局限于自己的股份

119
00:09:47,070 --> 00:09:49,564
In entertainment and in the media,
娱乐界和新闻界

120
00:09:49,637 --> 00:09:54,916
ratings and shock value often trump news and storytelling.
常常过于追求收视率和价值观冲击 而非播报实事新闻

121
00:09:56,546 --> 00:10:00,390
In Washington... well, this is a joyous occasion,
在华盛顿... 这是个欢乐的场合

122
00:10:00,427 --> 00:10:03,699
so let me put it charitably...
我就说得好听点吧...

123
00:10:04,597 --> 00:10:09,549
I think it's fair to say our democracy isn't working as well as we know it can.
我觉得 我们的民主并未像我们所知道的一样 得到充分发挥 这么说并不偏颇

124
00:10:09,583 --> 00:10:11,595
It could do better.
还能做得更好

125
00:10:21,102 --> 00:10:25,542
And so those of us fortunate enough to serve in these institutions

126
00:10:25,614 --> 00:10:29,698
owe it to you to do better every single day.

127
00:10:31,968 --> 00:10:33,986
And I've been thinking a lot lately

128
00:10:34,024 --> 00:10:39,351
about how we can keep this idea of citizenship in its fullest sense
我们怎么才能把公民意识在全国范围内

129
00:10:39,392 --> 00:10:43,118
alive at the national level... not just on Election Day,
充分发挥... 不仅仅是大选之日

130
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:47,321
not just in times of tragedy, but all the days in between.
不仅仅是悲剧之后 而是每一天

131
00:10:50,348 --> 00:10:53,186
And perhaps because I spend a lot of time in Washington,
也许因为我绝大部分时间是在华盛顿

132
00:10:53,260 --> 00:10:55,998
I'm obsessed with this issue
我时刻牵挂

133
00:10:56,032 --> 00:11:01,649
because that sense of citizenship is so sorely needed there.
因为这里非常需要公民意识

134
00:11:02,643 --> 00:11:05,413
And I think of what your generation's traits...
然后我想到你们这一代的烙印...

135
00:11:05,484 --> 00:11:09,333
compassion and energy, and a sense of selflessness...
同情心 正能量 大公无私...

136
00:11:09,398 --> 00:11:16,494
might mean for a democracy that must adapt more quickly
对于这种民主来说 意义非凡 因为需要

to keep up with the speed of technological and demographic,

138

139
00:11:21,578 --> 00:11:25,611
I think about how we might perpetuate this notion of citizenship in a way
我想过该如何延续公民意识的理念 如何按照

140
00:11:25,648 --> 00:11:29,496
that another politician from my home state of Illinois,
我家乡伊利诺伊州一位政治家

141
00:11:29,576 --> 00:11:33,097
Adlai Stevenson, once described patriotism not as
Adlai Stevenson所描述的那样 爱国主义 不是

142
00:11:33,133 --> 00:11:36,497
"short, frenzied outbursts of emotion,

143
00:11:36,533 --> 00:11:40,530
but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime."
而是毕生平静而坚定的奉献"

144
00:11:40,573 --> 00:11:42,557
That's what patriotism is.
这才是爱国主义

145
00:11:42,583 --> 00:11:44,429
That's what citizenship is.
这才是公民意识

146
00:11:51,209 --> 00:11:54,145
Now, I don't pretend to have all the answers.
我不会说我能回答所有问题

147
00:11:54,183 --> 00:11:57,417
I'm not going to offer some grand theory on a beautiful day like this...

00:11:57,458 --> 00:11:59,482
you guys all have celebrating to do.
你们要的是庆祝

149
00:11:59,554 --> 00:12:01,597
I'm not going to get partisan, either,
我也不会做党派之争

150
00:12:01,636 --> 00:12:04,153
because that's not what citizenship is about.
因为这也不是公民意识所在

151
00:12:04,191 --> 00:12:07,591
In fact, I'm asking the same thing of you that President Bush did
事实上 我要求的 同当年布什总统

152
00:12:07,627 --> 00:12:10,034
when he spoke at this commencement in 2002:
在2002年毕业典礼上的要求 如出一辙

153
00:12:10,074 --> 00:12:14,662
"America needs more than taxpayers, spectators, and occasional voters,"
"美国需要的不仅仅是纳税人 围观群众以及间歇的选民"

he said. "America needs full-time citizens."
他说 "美国需要全心全意的公民"

155
00:12:19,812 --> 00:12:27,743
And as graduates from a university whose motto is
作为毕业生 贵校的办学理念是

156
00:12:27,776 --> 00:12:29,902
"Education for Citizenship,"

It's what your country expects of you.
也是国家对你们的期望

159
00:12:40,943 --> 00:12:49,345
So briefly, I'll ask for two things from the Class of 2013: to participate,
简单来说 我对2013级毕业生提出两点要求: 参与

160
00:12:49,382 --> 00:12:51,313
and to persevere.
并坚持

161
00:12:52,717 --> 00:12:59,866
After all, your democracy does not function without your active participation.
毕竟 没有积极的参与 你们的民主也不会正常运作

162
00:13:01,601 --> 00:13:05,573
At a bare minimum, that means voting, eagerly and often...
至少 这意味着投票 尽早地 经常地投票...

163
00:13:05,609 --> 00:13:10,372
not having somebody drag you to it at 11:30 a.m.
不是等11点半吃早饭的时候

164
00:13:10,408 --> 00:13:11,844
when you're having breakfast.
才被人拉过去投票

165
00:13:14,350 --> 00:13:19,062
It means knowing who's been elected to make decisions on your behalf,
而是意味着 知道谁会被选出来 并代表你作出决策

166
00:13:19,101 --> 00:13:20,379
and what they believe in,
知道他们相信什么

167
00:13:20,458 --> 00:13:23,821
and whether or not they delivered on what they said they would.
知道他们是否言行一致

168
00:13:23,858 --> 00:13:27,014
And if they don't represent you the way you want,
如果他们没有像你希望的那样代表你

169
00:13:27,050 --> 00:13:29,088
or conduct themselves the way you expect,
或者言行没有达到你的预期

170
00:13:29,127 --> 00:13:31,976
if they put special interests above your own,
如果他们把特殊利益置于你的利益之上

171
00:13:32,015 --> 00:13:35,214
you've got to let them know that's not okay.
你要让他们知道 这样不对

172
00:13:35,285 --> 00:13:38,048
And if they let you down often enough,
如果他们经常让你失望

173
00:13:38,082 --> 00:13:39,746
there's a built-in day in November
11月的一天(大选之日)

174
00:13:39,781 --> 00:13:42,363
where you can really let them know it's not okay.
你可以真正让他们知道 他们做得不对

175
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:54,512
But participation, your civic duty, is more than just voting.
但是作为公民的职责 你的参与不仅仅是投票

176
00:13:54,548 --> 00:13:57,192
You don't have to run for office yourself...
你们不需要自己参加竞选...

177
00:13:57,264 --> 00:13:59,786
but I hope many of you do, at all levels,
但我希望你们能够参选 不管哪个层次

178
00:13:59,850 --> 00:14:01,771
because our democracy needs you.

00:14:01,811 --> 00:14:04,643
And I promise you, it will give you a tough skin.
我向你保证 你会变得更加强大

180
00:14:05,794 --> 00:14:07,678
I know a little bit about this.
我对此略有体会

President Wilson once said, "If you want to make enemies,

182
00:14:11,824 --> 00:14:13,950
try to change something."

183
00:14:15,303 --> 00:14:18,505
And that's precisely what the Founders left us...

the power, each of us, to adapt to changing times.
